The survey of 181,752 students was conducted at 33 universities including Yale, Harvard, Stanford, Caltech, Northwestern and the University of Oregon.
The University of California conducts its own sexual misconduct survey and did not join the AAU effort.
In addition, nearly two-thirds of students lacked basic knowledge about sexual assault, including how to define it and where to get help. Among undergraduate students who identified as TGQN — transgender, nonbinary/genderqueer, gender questioning, or who did not list a gender — 22.8% said they had been victims of sexual assault.
At USC, Sarah Van Orman, associate vice provost for student health, said she could not say whether her school’s higher numbers were tied toShe said she was concerned that knowledge about sexual assault decreased since 2015, in contrast to national trends. In addition, USC undergraduate women reported far less confidence that the university would take their reports seriously than did their peers at other campuses surveyed, 38.6% compared with 53%.
USC is also rolling out its first-ever mandatory, in-person training to all incoming first-time undergraduates on affirmative consent, which is now required by law for every sexual act. Although the university already requires online training about sexual misconduct for all students during the registration process, Van Orman said the in-person program would help build on that knowledge.
